Flying saucers??

For some dramatic recent photos of wave clouds (lenticulars) over Yorkshire, take a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-16302606.


The text refers to wave clouds as 'rare' and only occurring near large mountains like the Himalayas, we glider pilots of course know better. Though not as impressive as in these pics, wave occurs at Booker more often than you would think, especially in the winter when there are no pesky thermals to mess it up.
